INTERPRETATION ACT - SECT 42

How power may be exercised

    (1)     A power under an Act to make, grant or issue a statutory instrument may be exercised:

        (a)     in whole or in part;

        (b)     subject to any conditions, limitations or qualifications specified in the instrument;

        (c)     to make different provision in relation to different matters or classes of matters; or

        (d)     to apply differently by reference to exceptions or factors specified in the instrument.

    (2)     The power is not limited to making provision in relation to a particular matter or a particular aspect of a matter merely because the Act makes provision in relation to another matter or another aspect of the matter.

    (3)     If the power may be exercised to prescribe penalties not exceeding a specified amount or period of imprisonment, the power does not prevent the instrument from requiring the making of a statutory declaration.

    (4)     This section applies in relation to a power whether exercised before or after the commencement of this section.
